A new blog post is up on my website, jp-caruso.com! I talk about the 6 month anniversary of publishing my first ever novel, The Menagerie.

The Menagerie has been out for 6 months! It feels like just yesterday that I got an email from Dreamspinner Press saying they were interested in publishing my manuscript. It was easily one of the happiest days of my life. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this book so far! Here's to another 6 months 🍻
